Played Peggle yet? Over 10 million people have downloaded the casual game for their PC since its debut in March of this year. ASnd thanks to this monster success, casual gaming giant PopCap Games has brought the game to the iPod.

Peggle actually makes perfect sense for the iPod. You control a cannon at the top of the screen with the click-wheel, directing balls into a field of blue and orange pegs and blocks. With a limited number of balls, you must blast away all of the orange targets. Using a little quick geometry and physics, you can rack up some pretty impressive runs through the game's 55 boards. To help you along the way, though, each series of boards is overseen by a Peggle Master with a unique talent, such as blasting fire balls or multiball.

The iPod version of Peggle is only $4.99 -- an absolute steal compared to the full $10 you pay for the PC download during the current sale at PopCap's official site.

IGN Wireless will have a full review of Peggle by the end of this week -- it's already on an iPod right here in the office. It's a terribly addicting game on the PC and I can easily see that magic shining through the iPod version, too.
